Welcome to the ‘how to be moderately successful podcast’, I’m your host Mike Scott and I am also the co-founder and CEO of Nona Digital.This podcast is all about helping you to build better businesses, better fintech products and a better version of yourself.Today’s episode is sponsored by ourselves, Nona Digital.Building a Fintech business is difficult and building software that scales and that your users love is very difficult. In today's competitive environment, you just can't afford to get your tech wrong, but you also need to focus on building your business, your team,  closing your next round and making the impact that you need to make.This is where we can help.With an impressive track record of delivering scalable intuitive software for Fintech companies around the world, we are a great choice of tech partner. We’ll take away some of your stress by making sure that your product is designed and built at the highest standards and by people that really careWe are small enough so that you are always close to the principals but big enough to be able to deliver at the highest standard consistently without key person dependencies.We have deep expertise in Fintech, and particularly BlockchainWe have a proven track record of expanding and evaluating tech teams and capabilities for our partners.Hiring great talent is critical to any tech businesses' success, whether it is internal or outsourced. Oftentimes people don't know how to vet this talent to avoid making bad hires. I certainly speak from experience when I say that making bad hires can be one of the most costly mistakes that one can make in business and especially in tech so getting this right is essential.Today I have got my business partner and CTO at Nona Dave O'Reilly to get into this discussion with me. Dave brings more than 20 years of experience in this field and countless interviews and hires so he is really well placed to share some insights and experience. He is also an incredibly talented developer in his own right which of course really helps when it comes to assessing talent.Welcome back, Dave.                                                          *******************************If you would like to accelerate your fintech project with a team of experts, we’d love to hear from you.Go to www.nona.digital to book a call directly with one of the principals or follow any of our contacts in the show notes.
